Norwegian term or phrase: bøyelastrederiene
I would call this "shuttle tanker shipping lines."

A "bøyelasteskip" is a "shuttle tanker" and "rederiene" are shipping lines (or shipowners, or shipping companies, or any of a number of terms used for "rederiene."

But specifically, how are these companies that operate shuttle tankers referred to?

shuttle tanker companies
Explanation:
This is very close to your solution, Charles, but omits 'shipping' as this concept is contained within 'tanker'.
"Shuttle tanker operators' seems a popular alternative.
Looking up Shuttle tanker companies/operators in my search engine produces many references.
